“I am taking music and adding a whole new layer with strings, bass, horns, piano and percussion. It is a whole new level of sophistication and excitement. Together, with DJ David Knapp, we are going to take guests through 30 years of music – songs that were popular from White Party’s past. It will be epic.” – Sam Hyken

“What becomes a legend most? Passion, purpose, history, glamour, and flattering lighting always help and all can be found at The White Party, whose legendary effort to raise much needed funds for Care Resource’s tireless crusade against AIDS for 30 years, is one I am honored to be a part of.” -Lesley Abravanel – Miami Herald Columnist
“I have supported Care Resource since my friend Glenda, a board member back in the 90’s shared their mission with me and asked me to join and accompany her to the famous “White Party.” Behind all the glitz and glam is one of the oldest organizations to lend a helping hand to those suffering with AIDS and HIV for over 30 years. Care Resource provided medical care at a time when people treated AIDS patients like lepers. Today, even the most uneducated among us is aware that HIV is not a plague on the gay community. But back then, Care Resource was one of the few organizations that treated its patients with dignity and respect.” – Ana Quincoces – Lawyer, Chef, Author, TV Personality
“I am honored to support Care Resource in their 30th year of community support for HIV/AIDS Research, Care, Prevention and Treatment.” – Marysol Patton, CEO The Patton Group Public Relations & Events Real Housewife of Miami on Bravo
“I support care resource for its positive impact for over 30 years in caring for HIV/Aids research and providing the White Party events to continue being an outstanding part of its awareness and hope to community.” – Jane Castro – VH1 Tough Love, Singer/Performer
“We need to save more lives! Our communities need more awareness and education about HIV/AIDS. I have many friends who belong to the LGBT community who’ve been affected by this huge cause. The LGBT community has always supported me and I will always support them. I gladly stand along with Care Resource in their continual plight and I’m looking forward to attending the 30th annual White Party to help raise funds and awareness.“- Adriana Cataño, Hispanic actress and television host
“The White Party™ was created by a wonderful group of altruistic and compassionate people drawn together – responding to a dreadful disease that had caused tragic losses and much personal grief. With the ever changing landscape of this pandemic, The White Party™ finds itself in the midst of change to fit today’s growing needs while catering to a much more diverse crowd. I encourage all of Miami to come out and celebrate our Diamond Jubilee!” – Rick Siclari, CEO, Care Resource
Through the White Party, for over 30 years, Care Resource has been able to raise millions of dollars for HIV/AIDS research, prevention, care and treatment services to individuals in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. The last six years have ushered in a real maturing of Care Resource. They took their model of excellence and expanded it to include not only those with HIV, but all of South Florida’s diverse LGBT and less privileged communities. Today, they are a full-fledged federally qualified community health center (FQHC) – a medical home for all those in need.
